Strong, long-lasting lashing cord is ideal for tying bamboo into tepees and trellises

Flat, nylon cord is easy to tie and has a wax coating that grips poles without slipping

Economical 400-ft. roll

When you're tying bamboo canes together to build a trellis, bean tepee or fence, use this flexible cord that's made especially for the purpose. It has a wax coating that protects it from the elements and grips bamboo securely.

Because of the abundance of bamboo that grows in our yard, I learned to do lashing and now make trellis and support structures she needs. The lashing cord is quite flexable and easy to use. I ordered two more rolls to have on hand and use as needed.

I ordered 2 rolls of this and it was great. It was about an 1/8 " thick. Nice and strong. So, I order 3 more rolls and the rolls were about a 1/16 thickness. Big difference. Flimsy, not as tacky, not as strong. Someone needs to look at this stuff and make sure its the same quality ever time.

The same thing that makes this product great also makes it tricky to store....it is coated in wax! So if you are building your supports on a warm day, do not let the roll sit in the sun while you are working. You end up with a gooey mess! Store the remaining spool in a cool dry place wrapped in plastic!

Your lashing cord is the best. I make stick fences that only last a year or two but the cord seems to last forever. I throw the old fences in the woods to rot (some have been there 5 years)and the cord holds up!

This is the best product for tying up plants. Knots hold securely and the twine is not obvious to a casual observer because it is fine and black. I've used it to guide bean vines and secure top-heavy tomato or blooming plants. I've even been able to use it over again, saving it from previous years.

Used the lashing cord to make bamboo trellises. The sticky/waxy quality of the cord helps it stay put during lashing -- far superior to the regular twine I used to tie the trellises together for the season. Only downside: When adjusting the trellises in the sun the cord gives a bit and I had to be careful not to push too much on the joints as they could slip apart and dissemble. If you order 50 pieces of bamboo, as I did, and intend to do alot of lashing get a second roll of cord. The first roll didn't cover assembly of six 7' trellises with five rails each and I had to order extra mid-project. I'm sure I'll be using it for other projects too.
